City Crop 2013 - Barley

The barley crop in Adelaide Botanic Garden is part of our ongoing mission to connect people with plants and to recognise the important role that farmers play in our lives. The barley crop is an opportunity for the community to experience a little bit of the country in the heart of the city and gain a true appreciation for where our food comes from.

Located in the south-east corner of Adelaide Botanic Garden, the 425m2 area is just the beginning of the story. Read the interpretative signage to learn more stories about barley and it's use. Access the Farmer's Trail through our MyParx app on your smart phone and explore Adelaide Botanic Garden, discovering other areas where edible produce is available.

Below is our Barley Blog, which will track the progress of the crop and teach you about the different stages of its growth.
